[SEL] O.T O.T. O.T. - any chemist on the List?

[paulmaples at sbcglobal.net]

Jim the man that had these said that he had water in them and he had them 
for about nine years. Do you think washing them out good with soap and water 
and then maybe using a 10% bleach solution to wash them and then rinse them 
thoroughly they would be OK for collecting rain water in for my backyard 
garden?
